Unicef Report: British Children Are The Most Delinquent
The Unicef International Report measures 40 indicators for quality of life. This includes the strength of friendships and family relationships, quality of education and exposure to drinking and taking drugs. The report found based on these indicators that British children had the worst upbringing amongst developed nations.
In case you were wondering the U.S came in second…..last
Some excerpts:
“40% of British Children have had sex before Age 15 Compared with 15% for Polish teens. They drank Nearly Four times as much as Italian teens and had the worst sense of subjective well-being”
and although individual cases of violence can’t hold accountability for claim against an entire country’s youth it is interesting to note this excerpt from the article:
“In 2000, the country stood aghast upon hearing of ten-year-old Damilola Taylor, who bled to death, alone, in a public stairwell after being stabbed in the leg with a glass bottle by two boys aged 12 and 13. Fast forward through a few years of steadily rising violent crime rates, to the recent case of a 19-year-old who raped a 79-year-old grandmother, stabbed her to death and then left her body to burn on a cooker – it barely registered on the front pages.”
For a country that’s questioning the rapidly deteriorating morality of its youth, its interesting to note that The Sun a widely circulated paper gained its popularity by regularly featuring topless pictures of 18 year old girls known as “page 3 models”.
